A Need For Welfare - 349 words
A Need For Welfare A Need for Welfare Theres an
old joke that asked, Where do you find a welfare
recipients check? Under his work boots of course
(Armitage 45). For a long time now, since the
accomplished formation of a stable government, the
U.S government has had the programs and passed
laws that either dealt with issues of or
influenced family. Many of these family programs
and laws currently in place today are frequently
and commonly debated. One of the most debated and
most labored over family programs or laws is
welfare. The argument is, whether or not to, how
welfare should be cut or minimized. The debate is
simple enough, but the argument on welfares
benefits and drawbacks is not. On ...

Accounting Ethics - 1,833 words
Accounting Ethics When examining the effect of
open marketing on the profession of accounting it
is important to view it from three perspectives:
the client's, the profession's, and society's.
Additionally, two key areas that are affected by
marketing must be addressed, these are concerning
competition, and ethical implications. Marketing
in public accounting is here to stay therefore
making an argument against its existence would be
fruitless; however, in order to achieve maximum
benefit to the firm, the client, and society more
stringent guidelines must be implemented at the
firm level. The first, and most obvious, of the
effected areas is competition. Within competition
several points are ...

Acid Precipitation - 663 words
Acid Precipitation Acid Precipitation Our
atmosphere functions as living ecosystem of
chemical reactions. Through the help of the water
cycle, chemicals pass through the atmosphere and
are eventually taken up by the soil, surface
water, or organic materials. Human beings have
added enormously to the atmospheric burden of many
toxic substances. The most prominent evidence of
this is the presence of acid rain: precipitation
and particles that have been made acidic by air
pollution. Acid rain is a direct consequence of
the atmosphere's self-cleansing process. The tiny
droplets of water that make up clouds continuously
capture suspended particles and soluble trace
gases. Not all trace gases can ...

Air Pollution - 1,567 words
Air Pollution Acid rain is a problem that has
plagued earth for years. It is poisoning our
waters, animals, plants, soil, and more. It is a
problem that can not be ignored or it might have
catastrophic results on our environment. Acid rain
is caused by air pollution, which is due to
man-made actions. Scientists have discovered that
air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels is
the major cause of acid rain. Power plants and
factories burn coal and oil, which is used to
produce the electricity we need to heat and light
our homes and to run our electric appliances. We
also burn natural gas, coal, and oil to heat our
homes, and our cars, trucks, boats, and airplanes
use gasoline to run, whic ...

discovered that although the city was saving time
and money by reusing Bergstrom, there were
drawbacks. One example came the day after the Air
Force vacated the base. All across Bergstrom,
residents and employees had turned off the water
when they left. The resulting water pressure was
more than the old system of pipes could handle.
The city field staff ran around for months chasing
water leaks. The city soon discovered that much of
the base's utility system could not be reused,
resulting in one of the first increases in the
airport budget. Utilities the ...

The connection between stress and immune system
response, for example, is well documented (Epiro
and Walsh). Some scientists suggest that the power
of prayer and faith healing, like some forms of
meditation, might also be physiological in that
they may protect the body from the negative
effects of stress hormone norepinephrine. In
addition, experience shows that relaxation
techniques can help patients enormously. 'Medicine

will be available starting in May. Another
approach to finding a cure for Alzheimer's Disease
is finding something that will block molecules
that are possibly responsible for the disease. Bob
Vassar designed and implemented an ingenious
method for isolating the gene for an enzyme called
beta-secretase, which is found to be a key culprit
in the disease (Garber, 2001). While other drugs
that are approved only improve the functions of
those with the disease, this method could actually
stop the progression, not just slow it down. There
are some drawbacks to this method. What is not
known about the enzyme beta-secretase, though
seemingly linked to ...

consistently penetrated the mail to a depth that
would prove lethal to the wearer. However,
bunching of the mail at suspension points
prevented penetration of the mail beyond a depth
of 3-5 cm. This [implies] that the doubling of
mail shoulder defenses known to be practiced by
both Romans and Celts may have saved the life of
their owners." These observations are consistent

Atlantic Slave Trade - 615 words

most people talk about or think about slavery,
they look at how it effected the US. The Atlantic
Slave Trade had a huge effect on the US but there
are no words or expressions that can describe the
effects it had on Africa and its familys. It is
estimated that between 1450 and 1900, there were
11,698,000 slaves exported from Africa. (Atlantic
Slave trade, pg.170) To understand the effects
this had on Africa you must consider the families
that lost relatives, the stores that lost
business, and even the friends that lost
friendships. None of the misfortunes can be
brought back or replaced. The many lives that were
taken can never be brought back to ...

knows that the spaceships in Star Trek that travel
faster than the speed of light are mere science
fiction. According to Einstein's theory of
relativity, if an object reached the speed of
light, its mass would be immediately transformed
into energy. Currently our spaceships can not even
reach mars in less than five years. Now, with
modern theories of black holes, trips to other
solar systems may be possible at nearly the speed

Brave New World Eugenics - 903 words
Brave New World - Eugenics In chapter II of a
Brave New World Revisited by Aldous Huxley, Huxley
makes some very bold statements on the current
state of our nations increasing technology towards
medicine. This leads to the formation of the idea
that we need to institute a eugenics program.
Though there are many drawbacks in using eugenics,
the ultimate goal is very beneficial. Huxley gives
a very clear example on why we need a system like
eugenics when he states an example which involves
introducing a cure for malaria to a tropical
island. Suppose someone was to go to a tropical
island with DDT and wipe out malaria. After two or
three years, hundreds of thousands of lives are
saved. Though t ...

hand it engages in the primary sociological task
of describing and documenting the 'state of
society', on the other hand it addresses itself to
central social and political issues (Halsey et al

be drawn from this is that there never has been a
value free sociology, just an attempt to merge a
value choice with objective research methods

positivist approach that fostered the

Cloning - 918 words
Cloning Cloning In the past few years, the topic
of cloning has been in the news a lot. It is a
very controversial issue, with many opposing
viewpoints. While some find it acceptable, others
object for religious reasons. A big concern is the
possibility of abuse of this new technology. One
of the big questions is Where will we stop? We may
start by just experimenting and studying, but then
what? Manufacturing human bodies for spare parts?
No one can be sure where it will stop. The Supreme
court says that everyone has the right to make
their own reproductive decisions without
government interference, but now it is proposing
bans on human cloning. These bans prevent the very
research needed to ...

Cloning Issues - 1,738 words
Cloning Issues I have observed in my nineteen
years of living that almost everyone in this
society strives to be the same or like the popular
culture. The average person is very materialistic,
and strives for an appealing physical appearance.
Artificiality is common in the popular culture.
For example, dying of hair color, inserting color
contacts, getting lyposuction, implants or removal
of flaws on the body is prevalent. I strongly
oppose human cloning primarily because I believe
that humans already try to replicate themselves
enough and having the same genes is not necessary.
Plus, just because there may be two identical
beings doesnt mean that they will behave the same.

breakthroughs that has received mixed responses is
the issue of cloning. There has been much debate

on for many years to come. You may be asking
yourself: What is cloning? How can I benefit from
cloning? Is cloning legal? Why should we clone
human beings? What is the world community doing to
control cloning? I hope to answer these and other
questions throughout the course of this paper.
